Hi all, can't seem to figure out an issue.

I have data is cell A1 but want it to populate the next 2 cells only. Then the user will have to select data from a drop down list on the next cell following the 2 cells.

Example :
Colors: Green,Yellow,Red
Drop down selection: Free,Green,Yellow,Red

A1= Green (Select from drop down)
B1=Free (Autofill)
B2=Free (Autofill)
B3 = Yellow then the following cells do nothing.
B4= Red (Nothing happens to following cells)

At any given time a user can change the above cells using drop down list then the following cells would populate or do nothing.

Make sense?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
